wheezing

Hi everyone, One of my hens is suddenly wheezing. She makes an inhale wheeze and then shakes her head a bit. The head shaking doesn’t happen with every breath, but often enough that it is worrisome. Her sister died suddenly about 1.5 weeks ago. Just curled up in a corner to “rest” and was dead...

When I got home from work today to let my chickens out I noticed Lucky wheezing as she was running with the flock. She was clearly having a hard time breathing, slightly stretching her neck out with her mouth opened. Tonight I was able to grab her to look into her mouth and throat. When holding...

My flock has had white diarrhea and occasional respiratory issues since the end of May/ beginning of June, diagnostic testing and a vet isn’t an option currently so I know it’s anyone’s guess what my flock actually has. Some suggestions included renal coccidia, or a very mild form infectious...

Hello, I have a hen who's currently having some difficulty breathing. She's one of the sweetest hens I've ever had and I just want to help her get better, so any advice is super appreciated! 1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the...

Hi, My 5 year olds hen seemed fine yesterday morning but by mid-day she was hiding under the house. When I finally got her out, she was gasping for air and kept her left eye closed. It has been very rainy and wet for a week and yesterday was the first warm sunny day, so I thought she might...

1) What type of bird , age and weight (does the chicken seem or feel lighter or thinner than the others.) Tetra Brown, approx. 3 years old, normal/plump weight (no swollen crop or emaciation) 2) What is the behavior, exactly. This morning (4/6/21), her normal 'squawking' sounded a bit more...

Chicks are from one month to two months including two polish, two bantams, two buffs, two silkies. My bantams are alright. Both my polish are wheezing? With a little runny nose. My buff and silkie are smaller, the buffs have a runny nose and they gape when I hold them. The silkies don't gape but...

My 5 month old silkie suddenly started wheezing really bad today. I was hanging out with her yesterday and she was totally normal. No mites/lice, her crop feels normal, and her mouth and throat have no blockages or anything in it that looks abnormal. She’s not acting lethargic and she ate some...

Hi! We have dealt with corzya in the past so I already know that isn't it. My baby chicken has been wheezing, 'rattling' and sneezing for about 2 months now. Today I noticed one of her eyes is swollen, has green and yellow crust around it and bubbles coming from the inner corner. No smell. She's...

THE SITUATION Pullet is wheezing and sneezing. Laid first egg today, so might heNone of the others in the flock (7 hens, 1 rooster) are showing these symptoms. Isn’t lethargic and is eating normally. Nothing obviously wrong or dirty in the coop. Video of the wheezing and sneezing: THE ASK...

Hi! I’m a first time duck owner with a 5 month old crested white peckin. She’s been in great health, eating well, acting normal, etc. She recently started doing this wheezing/backwards sneezing (not sure what it is or why she’s doing it) for the past 1-2 weeks and I’m not sure whether to be...

Hi all :) I've had this slow spreading disease in my flock since I brought some girls home in September, I'll try to keep the story short. I've been keeping chickens a number of years now, never had a pest or disease problem... I also don't usually buy hens elsewhere, sorta have a hatching...

My favorite hen, an EE, came back from the brink of death a few months ago. She had been battling EYP but ultimately pulled through. Since then she's been thriving and it's been my pride and joy seeing her out with the others looking strong and happy again, for months now. But always looming is...

I have a 12 week pullet who I noticed is wheezing today, so I think she's only been like this for a day or so. It has been very cold and wet for our area the past week or so. I just put down straw a couple days ago that was super dusty so I'm hoping that didn't cause this. Her breathing is...

Hello! I have a flock of 25 meatbirds. I posted the other day asking if my chickens is coccidiosis with no response, they’re showing new symptoms and what I thought was bloody stool, wasn’t. So I’m ruling out coccidiosis. Their new symptoms are sneezing and wheezing. They all seem to be eating...

We have a 2 year old cuckoo maran hen that we noticed wheezing and having loss of voice approx 2 weeks ago. She is still laying almost daily and perky. No sneezing or eye/nose symptoms. We separated her into a small isolated Coop with its own run immediately. We tried the natural treatments...

Hello there friends, We have two Ancona ducks a little over two months old. Both seem very happy and healthy, minus the fact that one seems to wheeze rather than quack. And she seems to be wheezing more often now. Doesn't appear to have any blockages, no runny eyes or nose, and not overweight...

One of my young hens is making a funky noise every time she breathes and is pale, lethargic, and has a loss of appetite (sorta she did eat a few bites of feed and a piece of soggy bread to eliminate the chance of something being stuck in her throat). We brought her in the house (im in phoenix...

My daughter pointed out one of our leg bars “Rona“ was making a wheezing sound this morning and not leaving the coop. I went out to look and she indeed was wheezing slightly and acting sluggish. I removed her from the other chickens and gave her freshwater and feed in a separate cage. I’m going...
